I am working through something similar with another member here (ngoma) on a 1985 D24T engine with a pump that we re-sealed. It turned out that part of the internal throttle/governor linkage came apart in the top of the pump as we were assembling it, without our realizing it. The car wouldn't start after reassembly and the pump barely moved any fuel into the injector delivery lines. Finally discovered it was because there was no throttle control, and very little fuel volume being injected. In the process now of fixing it, and hoping this will get it to fire up.

Working inside a Bosch VE pump isn't simple stuff and there are a million paths to having a problem on reassembly that will keep the car from running, or at least running right. If it's not putting out any fuel, you need to figure out what the source of that problem is, even if it means taking it to an expert.... until then, without any fuel being injected, it ain't gonna run.

How far did you take the pump apart? Just a front shaft seal and the rest of the external seals, or more than that?
